SUMMARY:Introduction to High-Performance Computing 2021
DESCRIPTION:This introduction provides basic information about high-performance computing (HPC)  at the RWTH Aachen University’s IT Center for different target groups and needs. It is the basis for the follow-up event PPCES 2021. It is focused on CLAIX-2018 the cluster that has been installed end of 2018 and extended in 2019 at the RWTH Aachen University’s IT Center in addition to CLAIX-2016\, which has been installed late 2016. \nThe event will be online. \nThe first part provides basic information about HPC resources and targets not only HPC users but also decision makers. It provides information for the participants to take strategic decisions concerningemployment of HPC resources and filing applications for computing projects consuming a decent amount of resources. No prior knowledge is required to attend. \nThe second part is aimed at those who (want to) use HPC resources and those who (want to) program HPC resources (developers). It will enable participants  to get a better understanding of the skill set they need. Furthermore\, it will enable admins and supporters to improve their support of HPC users by having a better understanding of HPC activities. You will particularly learn about the most important details on using CLAIX-2018. Those who use to run their computing applications on local machines will learn how to run those applications on the RWTH Compute Cluster – provided the necessary software licencies are in place. Generally\, this event is also meant to teach the HPC basics that are needed to take part in our more in-depth event “PPCES” and to help take decisions on which part of PPCES might be interesting for you. We expect participants to have a basic knowledge of Linux and experience with their applications on any other computing devices. \nAll presentations will be given in English. \nCourse Information & Registration \nPart 1 (Morning Session) 11:00 – ~12:30\n \nTarget: Enable participants to make decisions concerning the employment of HPC resources and to file applications for computing projects \nTarget groups: HPC decision makers\, supporters\, domain scientists\, developers\, users\, admins and students. \nOverview \n\nHigh performance computer architecture basics\nCLAIX 2016 + 2018\nStorage for HPC\nApplication software availability\nAccess\, project categories and submission\n\n\nPart 2 (Afternoon Session) 14:00 – ~16:30\n \nTarget: provide the basic knowledge to use the new cluster\, give a better understanding of the skill set needed for develop HPC applications\,  enable admins and supporters to better help and understand HPC users \nTarget groups: HPC supporters\, domain scientists\, developers\, users\, admins and students. \nContent overview \n\nShort introduction to parallel programming\nOverview on OpenMP\, MPI and GPU-Programming\nPerformance metrics and measurements\nCompiler optimizations and switches\nBatch job submission\nProcess and thread allocation in batch jobs\nOutlook on follow-up events: PPCES and aiXcelerate\n\nDetailed Agenda and Course Materials \nPart I \n\n\n\n\n11:00 – 11:30\nHPC_Architecture_Basics\nTim Cramer\n\n\n11:30 – 12:00\nStorage_Strategy_for_Users\nPhilipp Martin\n\n\n12:00 – 12:30\nHPC Resources and Computing Projects\nDieter an Mey\n\n\n12:30 – 14:00\nBreak\n\n\n\n\n\nPart II \n\n\n\n\n14:00 – 14:45\nParallel_Programming_Overview\nTim Cramer\n\n\n14:45 – 15:30\nPerformance Metrics & Measurements\nDaniel Schürhoff\n\n\n15:30 – 15:40\nBreak\n\n\n\n15:40 – 16:00\nCluster Software Environment HPC\nDaniel Schürhoff\n\n\n16:00 – 16:25\nIntroduction to Slurm\nMarcus Wagner\n\n\n16:25 – 16:30\nClosing Session\nTim Cramer\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\nThe detailled participation information including the Zoom link was sent to registered participants. If you did not receive the information\, please contact hpcevent@itc.rwth-aachen.de. \n\nTravel Information \nVery short travel this year – it needs a walk to your laptop at home. \n
